Issue #6470 has been updated by Matt Taggart.
In comment 6 micah wonders why there are both architecture and hardwaremodel. I suspect it's more useful on other archs like ARM where you might want to make decisions based on the particular model (like if it doesn't have FP or something). Since uname reveals both it probably makes sense to have separate facts for them. ---------------------------------------- Bug #6470: Ubuntu server architecture detected as "x86_64" while it should be "amd64" https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6470 Author: Dominick Rivard Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Adrien Thebo Category: library Target version: 1.5.9 Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: it seems to be the same issue as this ticket [[http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4980]] but with another distro<br/> We are running Ubuntu servers and the fact architecture return this: architecture => x86_64<br/> operatingsystem => Ubuntu<br/> puppetversion => 2.6.4<br/> facterversion => 1.5.8<br/> I would expect the architecture fact to return amd64<br/> in the file facter/architecture.rb<br/> # line 9 when "Debian", "Gentoo", "GNU/kFreeBSD" # I would suggest when "Debian", "Gentoo", "GNU/kFreeBSD", "Ubuntu" # it would look like this Facter.add(:architecture) do confine :kernel => [:linux, :"gnu/kfreebsd"] setcode do model = Facter.value(:hardwaremodel) case model # most linuxen use "x86_64" when "x86_64" case Facter.value(:operatingsystem) when "Debian", "Gentoo", "GNU/kFreeBSD", "Ubuntu" "amd64" else model end when /(i[3456]86|pentium)/ case Facter.value(:operatingsystem) when "Gentoo" "x86" else "i386" end else model end end end This would be helpful while installing package through dpkg and for custom build packages<br/> For now I created a custom fact to overcome this issue require 'facter' if Facter.value(:architecture) == "x86_64" packagearchitecture = "amd64" else packagearchitecture = "i386" end # # Get the DEBian package architecture that needs to be install # ex: i386, amd64 # Facter.add('packagearchitecture') do setcode do packagearchitecture end end Thank you! -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
